“Assault on
Wall Street,” directed by Uwe Boll and starring Dominic Purcell, takes the
liberal agenda to a whole new level. Every possible liberal ideal – anti-gun,
anti-capitalism, the evils of health insurance companies, crazy gun supporters
– is depicted in this 1 hour and 39 minute movie, which was released on May 10
in limited theaters and on Amazon
instant video[1].

Within the
first ten minutes, viewers were introduced to evil Wall Street executive Jeremy
Stancroft (John Heard) saying, “Our responsibility begins and ends with our
partners and shareholders and that is it.”

Jim Baxford
(Dominic Pucell) had a very sick wife, Rosie (Erin Karpluck), and their
insurance reached a coverage cap. “Basically if you read the fine print, it
says If you get too sick and it’s too expensive, they stop f*****g paying,” he
told a co-worker.

To try to
make money to help pay for his wife’s expensive treatments, Baxford puts money
in stocks on Wall Street – predictably, the stocks go bad and thousands of
people across the country lose their money. The companies, however, are bailed
out through government funds … something that hits close to home for many Americans
today.

Baxford’s
wife realized how much debt they were in and that they can’t afford her
treatments anymore since the insurance company won’t cover them … so she
committed suicide. Jim Baxford went unhinged.

The final
chapter of the film depicted Baxter methodically targeting and hunting down
different executives on Wall Street and executing them. Like any serial killer,
he had pictures of his victims on his apartment wall and crossed them off after
every kill – this is the man audiences were supposed to empathize with. Baxford
bought his guns off the street from a gun enthusiast, promising he needed them
for “self-defense.”

The grand
finale comes when Baxford shot down his old broker along with hundreds of others
in a massacre on Wall Street before he finally came face to face with CEO
Stancroft. “The problem with guys like you is that you’re always bragging, so
when the rest of the world is suffering, you’re making sure that every magazine
in the country knows all about your triumphs,” he told Stancroft.

As if the
rest of the movie wasn’t bad enough already, the real kicker came when
Stancroft defined what capitalism supposedly is. “It’s the bankers and the
owners and the advisers who get rich and it’s the little people who buy their
stock that always lose in the end. People like you,” he declared. “That’s
capitalism.”

In reality,
what Stancroft described is not capitalism at all. A rigged system is not the
free market, despite what the left believes. Cronyism and favors for big
companies based on their relationship with lobbyists is not capitalism.
Capitalism allows anyone to come up with ideas and try to market a good or
service. The market decides who rises and falls, not the government.

The irony
of this movie is that it was only a few months ago when many in Hollywood were in the “Demand a Plan to End Gun
Violence[2]” video. Not only does this movie propagandize every liberal
talking point for 2013, but it promoted malicious murder of those on Wall
Street. In a recent Culture and Media Institute study[3],
the top five movies for the weekend of Jan. 11 included 65 scenes of violence,
38 of which were specifically gun violence, and depicted 185 individual
victims.
